Which cells directly attack abnormal cells in the body?
Cells of the immune system, such as T cells and natural killer cells, directly attack abnormal cells in the body. They recognize markers on the surface of abnormal cells and release chemicals to destroy them.
Do body cells kill other body cells?
Typically, healthy body cells do not actively kill other healthy body cells. This process is usually regulated by the immune system to eliminate damaged or infected cells. However, in certain conditions such as autoimmune diseases, the immune system may mistakenly attack healthy cells.
What kind of organisms do red blood cells attack?
